SQL use CASE statement in WHERE IN clause

Question

Is it posible to use case in where in clause? Something like this:

 DECLARE @Status VARCHAR(50);
 SET @Status=\'published\';

 SELECT * FRO         


        

Answer 1

No you can't use case and in like this. But you can do

SELECT * FROM Product P    
WHERE @Status='published' and P.Status IN (1,3)
or @Status='standby' and P.Status IN  (2,5,9,6)
or @Status='deleted' and P.Status IN (4,5,8,10)
or P.Status IN (1,3)

BTW you can reduce that to

SELECT * FROM Product P    
WHERE @Status='standby' and P.Status IN (2,5,9,6)
or @Status='deleted' and P.Status IN (4,5,8,10)
or P.Status IN (1,3)

since or P.Status IN (1,3) gives you also all records of @Status='published' and P.Status IN (1,3)

Answer 2

I realize this has been answered, but there is a slight issue with the accepted solution. It will return false positives. Easy to fix:

SELECT * FROM Products P    
WHERE (@Status='published' and P.Status IN (1,3))
   or (@Status='standby' and P.Status IN  (2,5,9,6))
   or (@Status='deleted' and P.Status IN (4,5,8,10))
   or (@Status not in ('published','standby','deleted') and P.Status IN (1,2))

Parentheses aren't needed (although perhaps easier to read hence why I included them).

Answer 3

I believe you can use a case statement in a where clause, here is how I do it:

Select 
ProductID
OrderNo,
OrderType,
OrderLineNo
From Order_Detail
Where ProductID in (
Select Case when (@Varibale1 != '') 
then (Select ProductID from Product P Where .......)
Else (Select ProductID from Product)
End as ProductID
)

This method has worked for me time and again. try it!

 SELECT  * FROM Tran_LibraryBooksTrans LBT  
 LEFT JOIN Tran_LibraryIssuedBooks LIB ON 
 CASE WHEN LBT.IssuedTo='SN' AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1
      WHEN LBT.IssuedTo='SM' AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1 
      WHEN LBT.IssuedTo='BO' AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1
 ELSE 0 END

Answer 5

According to my Scenario, I did "use CASE statement in WHERE IN clause" like following

@AdjType varchar(20) = 'Value', 
@Base varchar(20) = 'Common'
where 
(select CASE WHEN SA.IsPersentage = 0 THEN 'Value' 
       WHEN SA.IsPersentage = 1 THEN 'Presentage' END) Like @AdjType
and (Select CASE WHEN SA.IsDependOnBasicSalary = 0 THEN 'Common' 
        WHEN SA.IsDependOnBasicSalary = 1 THEN 'Basic Salary' END) like @Base

 select  * from Tran_LibraryBooksTrans LBT  left join
 Tran_LibraryIssuedBooks LIB ON   case WHEN LBT.IssuedTo='SN' AND
 LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1 when LBT.IssuedTo='SM'
 AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1 WHEN
 LBT.IssuedTo='BO' AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1
 ELSE 0 END`enter code here`select  * from Tran_LibraryBooksTrans LBT 
 left join Tran_LibraryIssuedBooks LIB ON   case WHEN LBT.IssuedTo='SN'
 AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1 when
 LBT.IssuedTo='SM' AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN 1
 WHEN LBT.IssuedTo='BO' AND LBT.LIBRARYTRANSID=LIB.LIBRARYTRANSID THEN
 1 ELSE 0 END
